TREATMENT OPTIONS
Teeth alignment
BRACES
What is it?
Braces (or bands) are orthodontic devices used to adjust teeth alignment and the bite. Bracesconsist of brackets and metal bands joined to a flexible wire. Changing and adjusting the wireresults in tooth movement.
When to use it?
Most orthodontic problems can be successfully treated using braces. Braces have been thetraditional form of treatment used by orthodontists for decades, but todayʼs streamlinedbraces come in a variety of models, usually stainless steel or tooth-colored ceramic.
Key information
Orthodontic treatment can be used to reopen the space for teeth replacement treatmentThese days many orthodontic problems can be corrected with clear alignersBraces require excellent oral hygiene and diet, as 'decalcification'' or early stage decay can occur around the brackets.Braces require a number of adjustment appointments, and treatment usually takes 12-24 months.
ALIGNERS
What is it?
Clear aligners are a series or sequence of clear, paper thin, removable mouth guards. They arean alternative to braces and function by moving teeth in small increments within each aligner.Aligners are changed regularly, from every 3-4 days up to every 2-3 weeks, depending upon thealigner system used. They are virtually invisible, comfortable, don't affect speech, and can beremoved for eating, tooth cleaning and special occasions.
When to use it?
Clear aligners are a solution for patients seeking a discreet and comfortable orthodontictreatment.

HOME ORAL CARE
What is it?
Maintaining a good oral care routine involves removing dental plaque by brushing and flossingdaily and making regular visits to the dentist.
When to use it?
Maintaining good oral hygiene is one of the most important things you can do for your teethand gums. Daily preventive care, including proper brushing and flossing, will help stopproblems before they develop and is much less painful, expensive, and worrisome thantreating conditions that have been allowed to progress.
Key information
Good oral hygiene includes brusing twice a day and flossing once a day.A non abrasive (to reduce enamel wear during brushing), fluoride (to protect the outer layer of enamel) tooth paste is recommended.Flossing removes the plaque between the teeth, in areas toothbrushing can't reach. These hard to reach areas between teeth are themost common sites of decay and gum infection.
DEEP CLEANING
What is it?
The technical term is a "root scaling and planing," and it is performed to thoroughly clean theteeth. The dentist will use several tools to remove plaque and tartar from the surface of theteeth above and under the gum line.
When to use it?
When bacterial plaque and tartar accumulate around and under the gums, tissues that supportyour teeth may be affected and periodontal disease can develop causing deeper pockets toform. Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical procedure done to treat periodontal disease.
Key information
It is impossible for an individual to remove plaque and tartar (calculus) under the gum line. To do so, a professional deep clean by adentist or hygienist is required.Plaque and calculus under the gum line cause gum infection (gingivitis), bone loss (periodontitis), with eventual tooth loss possible
PROFESSIONAL TEETH CLEANING
What is it?
Checkups almost always include a complete teeth cleaning. Using special instruments, thedentist or hygienist will scrape the teeth surface to remove built-up plaque and tartar that cancause gum disease, cavities, bad breath and other problems. The dentist or hygienist may alsopolish and floss your teeth.
When to use it?
Not all plaque and deposits are removed from the teeth surface during a regular teethbrushing, particularly if there are crowded or 'crooked' teeth. It is recommended to go for a
routine dental check-up and cleaning every 6 months to prevent gum diseases and cavities.
Key information
Gum infections resulting from poor home care or poor oral hygiene has been implicated in a number of systemic health problems,including increased risk of stroke, diabetes and heart disease. Gum disease has also been linked with problems in pregnancy anddementia
